As a mother of three children — including a daughter who has severe autism — I understand all too well about the challenges holidays bring, including Halloween.
The following tips represent the lessons I’ve learned over the last several frightful seasons; I hope you can put them to good use with your family this Halloween.1.
SAFETY: Not all kids are comfortable with the dark — especially walking around at night. Use flashlights, glow sticks, and light-up sneakers to make it more fun and safe.
Before you go, snap a picture of your child in his or her costume with your cell phone so you have the most up-to-date picture — in case your child wanders off.
